This beginner's guide includes a detailed introduction to the country's geography, climate, economy, arts, culture, and history, as well as practical information on everyday life. The course is structured into twelve carefully-paced units, each opening with a dialogue about an everyday topic followed by vocabulary, expressions, grammar lessons, and exercises.
